About This Course

Course Description

Chances are you love writing books and that is easy and effortless but what is happening after you hit the publish button and you wait for the sales to kick in?

For you and most authors, that's where the dream ends; as you wake up to the daunting reality of seeing your book just sitting and collecting some digital dust on Amazon or other online book store where you made it available for sales.

You know how to write a book, how to publish your work but there is a missing piece of the puzzle - how you can possibly be noticed in the sea of 3 million competing titles.

This course puts an end to the confusion and shares the proven, systematic way to take a book from book and even you as an author from the pit of obscurity to the limelight of been seen and noticed by the people who are the exact people who you will like to call your loyal book audience.

I started as an unknown author myself with no platform, no book reader and no book sales but I changed my story by focusing on one thing which is solving my number one problem which is the problem that nobody knows who I am and with that, nobody is seeing my books as.

I solved this problem by focusing on finding my book readers and reaching out to them, building my author platform, building my email list and the rest is now history.

It does not matter whether you write non-fiction, how-to books, poetry, obscure fiction genres, romance, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, or literary novels – this system works. It works because you are finally able to attract the right readers, and build your relationship with them direct, without relying on anyone else and by anyone else, I mean book ad and promotion sites and if you should know how hard it is today to get these few “magic performing" sites to take your money in exchange for blasting your book deal to their loyal book buying subscribers and with what you will learn in this course, you don't need to beg or pay anyone to promote your books when you've got the right audience built over time that can give you the same result .

The best part?

You don't need to put a new book out every 6 weeks to keep visibility high – because you've already built up your own direct platform.

In short, you finally have a way to more effectively market the books you already have – and capitalize on the work you have already done – as well as skyrocket your results when you launch your next book.

You spend months bleeding over your keyboard to get your book ready for prime time – you should not have to spend the rest of your free time trying to figure out what marketing and promotion strategies work.

And you don't have to. What you will learn in this course is a system you can use that works – regardless of the types of books you write.

This course is specifically for people WITHOUT an established "audience" in the form of a big email list or social media following and it work you through the step-by-step what's required to get more visibility for you and your book, build a loyal fan base of your target book readers, build your author platform and sell more books.
